THE Committee of Ministers of Trade (CMT) of the Southern African Development Community (Sadc) has approved extension of the implementation of the Trade Facilitation Programme (TFP) for the period 2020-2030 in line with the revised Regional Indicative Strategic Development Plan (RISDP).
The TFP was initially approved in March 2016 to advance and consolidate the Sadc Free Trade Area.
The need to ensure that activities contained in the TFP are mainstreamed into national plans to support implementation, industrialisation, regional integration, and mobilisation of the resources came to the fore when the CMT met at the end of July this year.
